Thanks Gary. I’m a scripting chicken, but I think I can handle this!

Thanks so much guys, this is the missing piece I was looking for. I just never saw the “O.”

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Ed. I have really appreciated your fast and great answers to all my questions.

Thanks Peter, but Outline/background only seems to put a stroke around the text. How exactly do you get it to affect the background of the subtitle text object? I’ve been looking through the help files and can’t seem to find this.

Thanks Ed. I did need to upgrade, but the real problem is that some of my subtitles are too long, I guess. The error I is get is “too complex due to one or more horizontal lines.” Sometimes making it smaller in size works to clear the error for a particular subtitle, and sometimes I must break it into two to fix it. It’s certainly doable, just time consuming and irritating as I get a result which not the way I want the screen to look.

You can’t just ignore them because the finish button is greyed out until you adjust them to the “dvd specification.” I will be showing this on a computer through a projector so the safe area doesn’t matter and I’d rather have the subtitles lower on the screen.

Thank you people!

A mixer could certainly save time. But I recently used one for the first time on a 3 camera shoot (where I also ran tape as a backup), and then found I had to reedit from the tape for several different reasons. I didn’t like the live edits in all case and two cameras really needed color correcting in post.

If you don’t use the mixer, can you record direct to hard disk to save time not having to capture?

Thanks, Gary. I should have figured that one out!
